Mini Strawberry Tart | Byron Talbott

Hey, what's up guys, welcome back today's recipe is going to be a very simple mini strawberry tart using Truvia brown sugar blend Also stay to the end of this video for more information about the Truvia baking star contest But let's get started on this recipe first up You're going to get a large mixing bowl add some all-purpose flour to it followed by some cold diced butter a pinch of salt Some baking powder and just a little bit of cold water Give this a good mix in between your fingers just to create that little flaky texture and flaky pie dough And just make sure it all comes together Once it does come together, you're going to turn it out onto your counter And just essentially start kneading it until it becomes sort of this solid mass dough Once that's done you're going to cover it with some plastic wrap throw it in the refrigerator to set up and just so it makes It a little bit easier to work with All right So while you're waiting for your dough to chill down in the fridge, you're going to make a very simple strawberry filling So grab some fresh strawberries take the top off and throw it into A large saute pan that's on medium to high heat Add a little bit of vanilla extract or some vanilla bean paste or even some fresh vanilla pods A few scoops of truvia brown sugar blend for sweetness And then of course some water just to help cook the strawberries You're going to allow this to cook for about 20 to 25 minutes Just until the strawberries start to break down and you have a very delicious red thick syrup All right, so once the strawberries are done cooking and they're nice and tender and you have a beautiful red syrup You can mash them up with a fork or a whisk if you like a chunkier filling Or you can do it like i'm doing here and just throw it into a food processor and just mix it up And have a nice beautiful puree or a very smooth jam But once that's done you're going to throw it into the refrigerator to cool down and set up for about two hours So while you're waiting for the jam to cool down and your dough is ready to go Just pull it out of the fridge put it onto a floured working surface roll it out to your desired thickness Here i'm looking for around an eighth of an inch thickness and i'm just going to measure a three by four and a half Square just for my little tartlets. I'm just going to measure them exactly You don't really have to go too crazy with this you can cut out, you know, really whatever Size you want you can even cut out little circles or triangles depending on what shapes you like And once all that's done you're going to throw these back in the fridge just to set up for another half an hour or so Just so it makes it a little bit easier on yourself once you start assembling the tarts All right, so once everything's cooled down prepared and ready to go you're going to start assembling your mini tarts So get a simple egg wash together Which is basically just a 50 50 mixture of an egg yolk and some water brush that on the bottom side of your tart followed by a few scoops of the Strawberry jam and then you're going to top that with the other side of your tart just pinching The edges so that none of that delicious filling will seep out during the baking process Then you're going to cut a few steam vents on the top of the tart Brush it with a little bit more of that egg wash and then you're going to throw this into A 375 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes All right So while you're waiting for the pop tart to bake in the oven You're going to make a very simple cream cheese topping for your tartlet So throw some of the brown sugar blend inside a blender or some sort of food processor and you're just going to pulverize it Until you have this very cool powdery mixture Throw that into a large bowl followed by some cream cheese a little bit of corn starch Some milk for consistency and a little bit of vanilla for flavoring and give this a good whisk until you have a delicious creamy frosting All right So once the mini strawberry tart is done You're going to pull it out of the oven let it cool down for at least a half an hour before you start frosting it But once that's done, you're going to grab your piping bag that's filled with a delicious cream cheese frosting Make a little design on top if you'd like or just frost it with a spatula And that's it. All there is to do is enjoy a delicious mini strawberry tart That frosting is good Nice and warm and toasty nice and flaky. I really love the balancing of flavors. You have a really sweet filling That's like bursting with the strawberry flavor. It's kind of sticky. It has this nice really, uh, velvety texture to it It's like sweet and tart has a little undertone of vanilla really good filling The frosting has this like almost these dark caramelized undertones from the truvia brown sugar blend and uh The sweetness is just perfect through and through and to top it all off Really to balance all that sweetness is the flaky pie dough. It's this really buttery crumbly Crispy texture that just is perfect with the strawberries perfect with the frosting This is literally the best strawberry tart on the go honestly that i've ever had also to top it all off It's 75 percent less calories than using a regular sugar or brown sugar This dessert just wins across the board.
